babybaby - of course you can if you want! (personally I'd use disposables for the 1st week because of the sticky meconium poo I've heard about). But a lot of people use cloth from very young.

Yeah - that's what I've heard too. Plus apparently their legs are really skinny and lots of people have told us that cloth's don't fit really well for a couple of weeks. I'm only looking for disposables for the first 2-3 weeks for both those reasons but also so me and my boyfriend (complete baby novices) can get used to what we have to do for a little while without adding washing. I've got my cloth's ready and so excited to try them!

Yep for sure but even the lady who owns the cloth nappy shop in Milford says disposables are great at the beginning - and my 'full time' cloth mum friends still use disposables for going out and at night.
We occasionally use cloth but as my boy went to day care at 6 months we decided sanity preservation was more important and I have enough to do in the evenings already!
Also - if you don't think cloth is working for you, you might need a different system rather than giving up altogether.

I find Huggies don't fit my girl very well. Treasures Ultra are better.

Huggies definitely for when Sam was a newborn. Not sure why, they just seem to fit him better.
When he was older we switched to Homebrand, they are amazing! And cheap too.

Huggies newborns were too small for DS. I'm glad I didn't buy many!

I found Huggies to be the best, I never had any leaks at all and never found the little absorbent crystals in the nappies with these, but with some of the cheaper brands I would find the little crystals in there everytime which really borthered me on newborn baby skin.

Bla Bla, where do you buy Genie Bamboo Wipes from?
I'm using cloth nappies but I too have been told about the black tar like poop from a newborn that can ruin cloth nappies so I will be using disposables to start. However, I thought it was just the first poop so I only have about 4 newborn disposables. It sounds like I'll need more, yes?

Treen, I get my Genie bamboo wipes from countdown (they're the only wipes I can use that don't give my daughter a rash).

I've seen those Genie wipes @ countdown too.
Treen with dd she had meconium for about 2 days or so.
This time I have just bought 1 pack of disposables should be enough for the first couple of days, then we will go to cloth
